The Otomo Clan Pack is a DLC that unlocks the Otomo as an additional playable clan for Total War: Shogun 2.
Description[]
One of the major clans of the lands of Kyushu, the Otomo were among the first to make contact with the Europeans – regularly trading with the Portuguese, and eventually converting to the Christian faith.
As pioneers of gunpowder in Japan, the Otomo bring that renowned expertise to the battlefield. The Otomo introduce four new land units and a new naval unit. Leased land (one building slot per city) provides a core injection of wealth if traded to the Portuguese, and a new building subchain brings the Hospital, Jesuit Seminary and Jesuit College to your campaign to provide major bonuses to the spread of Christianity.

New units – Otomo only[]
New clan-specific units
- Portuguese Tercos (Foot, Ranged, Melee)
Armed with matchlock rifles and swords, clad in iron breastplates and Spanish Morion helmets, the Tercos can lay down withering hails of fire, and give a solid performance in melee.
- Otomo Donderbuss Cavalry (Mounted, Ranged)
Mounted troops armed with the fearsome, fluted Donderbuss rifle – the forerunner of the modern shotgun. These ranged units can be swiftly positioned to gouge at an enemy’s flanks, or punch the wind out of his cavalry charges before they even arrive.
- Otomo Matchlock Ashigaru (Foot, Ranged)
Armed with matchlock arquebuses to unleash massed volleys of long-range gunfire upon the enemy, these units fight with religious fervour, which increases the accuracy of their fire and enables them to reload at a faster rate than standard Matchlock Ashigaru.
- Otomo Matchlock Samurai (Foot, Ranged, Melee)
With their accurate volleys of rifle-fire, Otomo Matchlock Samurai are ideal at weakening enemy units before a charge. Benefitting from their Samurai training, they fire with greater accuracy and reload more swiftly than their Ashigaru brethren.
- Otomo Matchlock Kobaya (Enhanced accuracy and reload speed)
A very light and fast ship carrying a small detachment of musket-armed soldiers whose Christian fervour and familiarity with matchlocks enables them to shoot more accurately and reload at a faster rate than standard Matchclock-bearing Kobaya.
